Tips & Advice

Can struts be replaced by shocks?

No, struts cannot be replaced by shocks. Though these parts both work to enhance a vehicle's ride quality, they are not interchangeable. Each wheel will have either a shock or strut, but never both. A vehicle might have struts on the front axle and shocks on the rear, so it's possible for a single vehicle to have both.

Do all cars have shocks and struts?

No, not all cars have shocks and struts. Some vehicles are equipped solely with struts, while others have just shocks. Shocks support the car's suspension, while struts are an integral part of a vehicle's suspension assembly. Both these parts work to improve the way a vehicle travels over bumps and rough road surfaces.

What are the signs that a car's shocks and struts need to be changed?

There are certain visual signs that indicate a car's shocks and struts need to be changed. If there are leaks from the struts and shocks, or if they look dented or damaged, repair is necessary. Diminished handling--if the car has a bumpy ride quality or stiff steering response--can also mean it's time to change the shocks and struts.

How long do shocks and struts usually last on a car?

Shocks and struts can last anywhere from 50,000-100,000 miles or more. If you have rough driving habits, this will significantly shorten the life of these parts. If the shocks or struts begin to leak or if they are broken or damaged, replace them immediately. Ideally, struts should be replaced in pairs.

When should shocks and struts be changed?

Shocks and struts should be changed if your car displays instability when braking or poor steering response, which could indicate a problem that calls for shock and strut replacement. Excessive vehicle bounce, uneven tire wear, and leaks from the shock or strut body are also signs that your shocks and struts might need to be replaced.

How much does it cost to replace shocks and struts?

The total cost of replacing shocks and struts can range from $500-$600 or more, including parts and labor. The parts can cost $200-$250, and labor can cost $300-$400. Before replacing struts and shocks, perform a full inspection of the vehicle's steering and suspension to see if the damaged struts and shocks have caused any other problems in the vehicle.

What are shocks and struts?

Shocks and struts are parts that influence a car's ride quality. Shocks prevent the car from bouncing on uneven road surfaces. They can also reduce the rate of roll, brake dive, and acceleration squat. Struts are dampers that are a key part of the car's suspension system. Like shocks, they work to improve ride quality, but they also provide structural support for the vehicle's suspension.

How much money can be saved by buying aftermarket parts?

Depending on the part and its overall quality, a good amount of money can be saved by purchasing aftermarket parts versus OEM parts. But aftermarket parts that are low in price might also be lower in quality and could do more harm than good to your car, or they may need to be replaced more frequently than a more expensive counterpart. This could lead to saving some money in the short term, but spending more than anticipated in the long term.

How much do new car tires cost?

The type of tires being purchased is the most significant determinant of their price. SUV tires are more costly than average car tires. And high-performance tires are more costly than economy grade tires. On average, standard tires for an average-sized vehicle are around $100 per tire. Standard tires for an SUV are around $150 and pick-up truck tires are about $200 on average. Some dealers offer discounts if purchasing more than one tire.

How long does it take to do a car inspection?

Car inspections typically take about an hour. However the wait time can be longer depending on how busy the shop is. Call ahead for an appointment to avoid long wait times.

We dealt with Mark Aguayo and he was great! He knew his product very well and explained the warranty options straight forward! Jc was great at coming forward with last minute marks that were not able to come off the car, with other options! Thank you Mark and JC!

My experience at Razzari was positive, thanks to Michael Munoz. Michael treated my brother & I with importance. He took the time to glide & direct us to the vehicles that were to our liking & had the gadgets that we wanted in a vehicle. He was professional & knowledgeable. He answered all the questions my brother & I asked. We got to test drive the vehicles that were potential vehicles. He took us serious, which we were. The service was exceptionally fantastic. I was very satisfied & happy that my brother & I received excellent service. So, thank you Michael Munoz for giving us a five star service, for a first time buyer.

I can't thank Mark Aguayo and JC enough for helping me get a vehicle I love. They went out of their way to make it happen for me. Mark made car buying a very positive experience. Especially since I haven't bought a car on my own since 1979!!!! I was really dreading it but due to Mark I have a totally different out look. THANK YOU MARK, JC AND RAZZARI!! Paula L

Sales Associate Mark Aguayo truly made the car buying experience pleasing. Usually buying a car can be stressful; however, the staff members from all departments made me feel like I was a part of their family. They were all very welcoming and went above and beyond trying to help me find the perfect vehicle for me and my family. Trust me, you will never go wrong going to this dealership for your next car purchase. I felt absolutely no pressure from any of the staff members to make a vehicle purchase. All members were extremely knowledgable and very sympathetic to my wants and needs in a vehicle and financial situation. So again, make sure your next car purchase is at Razzari Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Merced and enjoy the family environment and the lack of stress in purchasing your next vehicle. Thanks again Mark for helping me and making me feel welcomed and apart of your Razzari family!

I would give them zero stars if I could. HORRIBLE SERVICE and you'll get the run around! My husband took my car here to get 3 brakes changed, rotors turned and one new caliper. He called the night before and had an appointment set up first thing in the morning so it would be ready by the time he left for work at 3. Not only was it not ready, but they hadn't even started on it. We called at 2:45 asking what was going on. And they said they couldn't find the key, but they didn't bother to call anyone to let us know. So they said there was one car ahead and they would get started. So my husband gave them my number and said to call me when it's done because he would be working. So needless to say he had to find alternative transportation to work. The day went on and I called back at 7pm asking what was going on. They said they tried calling multiple times to get authorization for new parts, but no answer, but they called my husbands number only. So they said the car would be ready the next day (which was Christmas Eve). Well my husband and I were busy with family the whole day, and they didn't even call and Christmas Day they were closed. So here we are going on five days that my car has been there and my husband just went in to avoid dealing with them over the phone and it's STILL NOT DONE!!!

Carlos/JC/Todd and Rick (mgr) were all very good at what they do. Courteous and answered questions to my satisfaction. Wife and I had no need to go to another dealer for Chrysler 300. They were very eager to earn our business. Good service - Good care - Good financing.

Michael Munoz and JC Alvarez were by far the best people I have dealt with. Awesome Team which allowed me to trade in my two vehicles for a brand new dodge truck that I love! Very informative,kind and no pressure! I recommend this dealership.
